Pro Tips for Better Results

💡

Aggregate First

If you have multiple entries per postcode, sum them up first. One total per postcode gives clearer insights.

🎯

Use Meaningful Values

The "value" column should represent something meaningful like sales, customer count, or revenue.

🔒

Keep It Anonymous

Never include personal information. PostcodeIQ only needs geographic data to generate insights.
